🧭 Filters in Scheduler – List View #
The Scheduler’s List View includes multiple powerful filters to help users quickly locate, monitor, or troubleshoot show sessions.
🔍 Available Filters #
| Filter Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Search Filter | Located at the top-left, this allows quick search by movie title, SPL name, or screen ID. |
| Screen Filter | Dropdown that lets you narrow the view to a specific screen or show all screens. |
| Current Shows Toggle | When enabled, this will only show sessions that are currently in playback. Useful for live status tracking. |
📌 Notes: #
- Search and Screen Filters work in combination. You can first limit to a screen, then search by keyword within that screen’s sessions.
- When the Current Shows toggle is active, it disables date navigation and locks the display to now-playing sessions only.
- The List View Filters helps to easily identify Errors and is especially useful for troubleshooting or checking issues such as missing KDM Keys, Content or SPLs.
🔍 Session Details View #
The Session Details View provides an in-depth look at a specific scheduled session, including the SPL, current playback progress, and CPL/KDM statuses for the screen.
🖼️ Interface Overview #
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| SPL Title | Shows the playlist assigned to the session |
| Start / End DateTime | Indicates scheduled session start and end times |
| Session Type | POS-synced or manually added |
| Current CPL | Highlights the currently playing composition (if active) |
| Playback Progress Bar | Live timeline indicator showing current playhead position |
| SPL UUID | Universally unique identifier for the SPL |
| Composition Playlist Table | Lists all CPLs included in the SPL |
| CPL Present | Shows whether each CPL is stored on screen |
| Playable | Indicates if the CPL is ready for playback |
| Keys (KDMs) | Displays whether a KDM is available, expired, or missing |
| Composition ID | Unique ID assigned to each CPL by the DCP package |
⚠️ Playback progress and status bars are only visible if the session is currently running.
➕ Manual Session Creation #
TMS allows users to manually schedule SPLs using the + New button in List View.
🖼️ Manual Add Interface #
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Click New to open session creation form |
| 2 | Choose SPL(s) from the dropdown |
| 3 | Set the date and time for playback |
| 4 | Select one or more target screens |
| 5 | Click Create Task to confirm |
Manual sessions will be listed with Type = Manual and can operate independently of the POS. These are useful for technical checks, private screenings, and content testing.
🗑️ Delete and Delete All Sessions #
The Scheduler includes tools to remove one or multiple scheduled sessions directly from the List View.
🗑️ Delete Session #
- Each session row includes a Delete button (usually a red trash bin icon).
- Clicking it will immediately remove the selected session from the TMS schedule.
- If the session is POS-linked, it will be deleted, however on next POS Update the session will be created again.
- If it’s a manual session, it will be deleted entirely.
⚠️ A confirmation of deleted session will appear.
🗑️ Delete All Sessions #
- Found at the top of the Scheduler interface.
- Clicking Delete All will remove every session listed for the currently selected day and filters.
- This includes both POS-linked and manually added sessions, unless filtered by screen or search.
🔒 Best Practice: If you believe there is a scheduling error and want the POS Sessions to reload, use Delete All to remove all sessions, wait 3 minutes for next POS session reload for a fresh creation of sessions.
✅ Practical Uses #
- Validate SPL linkage with POS schedule
- Monitor sessions that may be missing KDMs
- Identify sessions not yet loaded into screens
- Diagnose runtime or sync delays between POS and TMS
